A/N: Oh, only two reviews for the last chappy, but for those who are on their computers this Christmas here's the next chapter. Hmm… everyone liked the last chapter and thought it nice. I'm not going to say anything. Now, this chapter shows you more of what Jacqui has and what some people know about her.

superspunky7- I have slowly began Ch. 37: title still unknown. Somehow the 1st date, the Valentines' Day Dance and the breakup (you know whom I'm talking about) turned out to be in one chappy. I'm still working the kinks out. I'll probably have it after Christmas.

Now, enjoy and review.

"Ron! Ron, get up!" exclaimed Harry. Ron didn't make the slightest intention to get up. "We got practice and we need our Keeper."

"And what about your Seeker?" snapped Ron.

Harry groaned in frustration. Ron still was upset about Jacqueline leaving.

"She went home. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that," said Jacqueline, stepping out of the fire.

"You're back!" exclaimed Hermione. The two girls embraced and Hermione whispered something about Ron.

"I didn't know my leave would upset you all so much," said Jacqui coolly. She went to stand in front of Ron, whose face was red. "Up! Get up, you lazy bumb!" Ron immediately jumped up. "Off to practice with you." With out a word, Ron obeyed and followed Harry out the Common Room. When they left, Jacqui mumbled, "Blokes."

"How was your visit home?" asked Hermione, following Jacqueline into the Girls' Dormitory.

"Oh, I didn't go home. I visited a few friends," said Jacqui, taking off her school robes.

"Why in the world do you want to practice in this horrible weather?" asked Jacqui, walking onto the field.

"The team needs to get used to all conditions," answered Harry.

"Next thing we know, we'll be practicing in a blizzard," whispered Ginny, rubbing her hands together.

A few hours later, it began to snow and Harry led the team inside.

"How much did I miss?" asked Jacqui at lunch.

"Not much," replied Hermione. "We have a Hogsmeade trip in two days and," she lowered her voice, "Voldemort has been sighted in London at Manoir de Riddle."

"Really?" asked Jacqui, growing pale.

Hermione nodded and Jacqui didn't say anything else.

Next morning…

"Listen to this," said Hermione, looking over the Daily Prophet. "Manoir de Riddle Searched" The minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge decides to search the Manor. A group of wizards are trying to find anything that would guide them to Voldemort."

"They're searching Manoir de Riddle?" asked Jacqui.

"Yes."

After breakfast, Jacqui went to Dumbledore's office. She mounted the staircase that was already up. She entered the office, after knocking. The Headmaster was with another wizard.

"Professor?" she asked. The unknown man turned around and Jacqueline said, "Minister."

"Ms. Riddle, I was just talking about you. I have a few questions."

Jacqueline stared at him, prepared. "I have a few questions for you myself."

Fudge didn't answer her. "Albus said that you were gone in the last few days."

Jacqui nodded.

"Where did you go?"

"I visited a friend's house. I believe you know Draco Malfoy."

"So you're saying that you were at Malfoy Manor?"

"That is what I'm saying."

"Cornelius, I don't think Amaris did anything wrong," interposed Dumbledore.

Fudge stopped his questioning and then said, "You had a question for me, Ms. Riddle?"

"Yes. I was reading today's Daily Prophet and it said that the ministry was searching Manoir de Riddle. Did you have the owner's permission to search the premises? I understand that Voldemort was sighted there, but still. No, you did not ask the owner, because I'm the owner."

"You said you know that You-Know-Who was in your house, then why didn't you inform the authorities?"

"Because I found out today. Also, I haven't been in that house for thirteen years. As a matter a fact, I came here to ask Professor Dumbledore for permission to go to the Manor."

"And you have it," said Dumbledore.

"Thank you."

"Where are you going now?" asked Ron.

Jacqueline put on her black velvet cloak with white fur trimmings and said, "I have a few things to attend to. I'll probably be back towards dinner."

She left the castle.

Jacqueline came to Manoir de Riddle and saw the door open and many people inside. She was momentarily joined by Fudge.

"Ah, Ms. Riddle," he said.

"Minister."

Jacqueline entered the house with Fudge and pretended to be overwhelmed with emotion as she saw her old home. She went upstairs to her room.

"I just would like to pick up a few things," she said.

Some wizard walked up to Fudge and whispered something. Jacqui looked questioningly at him.

"No one can open the office door. It keeps saying that it would open to the master or mistress of the home. Maybe you can open it," said Fudge.

Jacqui shrugged softly and headed for the office. A crowd of wizards parted for her as Jacqui walked up to the door. She reached for the door handle and it turned. The door opened and Jacqui slowly entered.

The office was a large room. Book cases were on the left and right. a large cherry wood desk stood towards the back. A large painting was hanging on the back wall and it was of Salazar Slytherin. Unlike the usual movement, the painting was still. Jacqui's heals clicked on the marble floor as she and the ministry entered the room.

I've got no choice but to let them in.

The room was searched, but there was nothing suspicious found. The desk contained nothing and there was no magic in the room what so over.

Strange.

Jacqui looked at the office one last time. She went into her parents' room and collect all of her mother's jewelry and some dresses. She was about to leave the closet when something caught her eye. She surveyed the mirror with the golden frame and touched a ruby that didn't look genuine. Jacqueline heard a click and the mirror began to move. It slid to the side and a small compartment appeared. Jacqueline gasped as she saw a two golden keys there; the keys to two vaults at Gringrauts. She pocketed it.

A few moments later, she appeared in front of one of the vaults. The goblin opened it and Jacqui's eyes became wide. The vault had an immense amount of gold. There was nothing else, only Galleleons. They were in neat piles, almost reaching to the ceiling. Jacqui pocketed some of them and proceeded to the next vault. The second vault contained a number of precious stones. There were many rows of shelves and chests rested on them. Each shelf contained a different stone. Jacqui counted endless amount of varieties in all. There were rubies, sapphires, pearls, diamonds, granite, opals, alexandrite, topaz, amber, aquamarine, emeralds, Jade, and many more. Jacqueline realized how much she owned and reflected on her past life, which was extremely poor.
